Cacti and Yucca
Engelmann's Prickly Pear (Opuntia engelmannii). This was growing atthe very top of the peak. It would have been a better shot if the flower were more fully in bloom.
Sotol (Dasylirion liophyllum), aka desert spoon. A very cool looking plant. I love the long stem.

Short-horned Lizard. The kids saw and caught this horned toad. It was so small! Red-naped Sapsucker. First time I had seen this bird. It's a male. On the female the red doesn't cover the entire neck. House Wren. Have seen lots of there, but this is probably my best pic.
Shrubby Cinqfoil Am. Bisort Low Larkspur (aka showy larkspur) Skyrocket Silky Phacelia Sulpher Paintbrush Rocky Mt. Phlox Indian Paintbrush. I find this incredibly interesting. The only time I've seen a bi-colored paintbrush. Wasatch Penstemon
Animals Crevice Spiny Lizard . The very distinctive neck band and tail bands made this one easy to identify. It was a fairly large lizard too. This was the only animal we saw that I got a photo of, but I did also see a Mountain Chickadee and White-Throated Swift (both birds).
